Overview of what we get to eat
The rules are pretty strict, so here's an overview of them:
Per meal:
1 vegetable
1 100g meat
1 fruit
1 breadstick (they're more like bread pencils, but about twice as long as a pencil)
Each meal is 250 calories. The meat, breadstick, and fruit calories are then added up, subtracted from the 250 allowed and the rest is consumed in the vegetable.
Spices (any spice) are allowed in any amounts.
1 T milk, if desired.
Juice of 1 lemon, if desired.
Celtic Sea Salt is the only salt allowed.
Stevia is the only sweetener allowed.
The fruit can be postponed from the main meal and used as a snack or desert.
Tea or coffee can be consumed in any quantities. <-- This one is interesting because I have lots of loose leaf tea that have different flavors like those just below. I thought we might soak something in tea to get the flavor of the tea in it. But, I'm NOT a cook by any stretch of the imagination. :)

what protocol are you following? Did you find success on it? I know the original has less vegetable and less fruit options.
